It is flying if a group pays to have it fly. A group I'm in is considering reserving the 10 seats available and pay to have it fly when we arrive in June but it's 450 euros...yikes. If someone has paid the fee for the reservation, and you happen to be in the cathedral at that moment, you will witness it but it sounds like, for now, it's up to chance unless you pay.This recent post and this one may please you.. I on the other hand won't be there until October.
I don't have any firsthand knowledge but these seem like credible sources. C Clearly is also a credible source, so maybe its not flying for some other reason. ¡Buen Camino!
I was recently told by a hiking volunteer here in California that the Cathedral of Santiago was closed?
A; "Eight men are required to move it, who are known as the tiraboleiros, "There are people who do this voluntarily?
You can email the cathedral to inquire about Sundays, you may be right. Search this site for contact info for Cathedral. I think my group didn't care about Sundays because we will leave on Saturday to go home.I plan on arriving in Santiago de Compostela on Sunday March 25th. From the comments I understand that the cathedral will be open and the botafumeiro will swing only if a group has paid for it. My walking partner is under the impression that the botafumeiro always swings on Sundays.
Also would appreciate knowing at what time the daily mass is,
Thanks

Hi - I'm beginning the Camino Frances on May 29 from Burgos to the end. I was recently told by a hiking volunteer here in California that the Cathedral of Santiago was closed? I would like to confirm this information. I don't think she would just make that up, but she may have been misinformed by someone else...you know how that goes...
Thank you so much for your help out there and buen camino.
Hi- a volunteer on a hike I went on in California told me that she heard the cathedral was closed. She walked the Camino last year.Lovetoread3 I have tried two separate emails to the Cathedral using emails found on the website however have not had any response. I am just curious as to whom you may have contacted. Perhaps the type of question I am asking “Will the Botufumeiro swing on March 25th” is not one they can/will answer...otherwise they might be doing this far too often for pilgrims.

I don't have the email address at hand. I'm sorry. Our organizer sent a copy of it to us but I'm not where I can dig it out. I also know that they are overwhelmed with emails and sometimes you don't get a response at all. I wish I could help you more. I can add that the emails were in English so I doubt it's a language issue.Lovetoread3 I have tried two separate emails to the Cathedral using emails found on the website however have not had any response.
